Each summer, the Institut Ramon Llull collaborates with two courses at which foreign students can improve their Catalan language skills: the International Catalan Language and Culture Sessions and the Catalan Language University Campus. The aim of these courses is to allow university students from outside Catalan-speaking areas to improve their language skills and become immersed in Catalan culture.

In October Trànsit travels to Madrid in a project promoted by the Institut Ramon Llull to present Catalan culture. The initiative brings together a programme of events designed to allow people living in Madrid to sample the rich culture of Catalonia and the Balearic Islands. With this project the Institut Ramon Llull continues its aim of bringing the latest tendencies in music and performing arts to the world capitals of culture. In September it travels on to Chicago in collaboration with the first Sonar event to take place in the United States.
